Vanakkam

The Palm trees are also famous in Southern Tamilnadu ( Madurai , Thirunelveli, Thoothukodi, Kanyakumari ) & also in Southern Kerala.

Thanks for a wonderful blog on Panai Vellam.

Sure i will email you the Palm related photos ( when i visit Nellai later )

Hi Mathy,
I love the palm jaggery. Is it the same as deepichakkara, which comes in circular discs from lakshadweep in kerala and is dark brown in color? u also reminded me of how much i miss the panaelaneer..tender palm coconut.:(

Sandeepa, Revathi, RP, Suganya, Asha, Maheswari, Delphine & sra : Thanks a lot for coming by.

Sandeepa: Thanks for the information. I will look for the khejur gur in the stores. It could be the same as the indonesian palm sugar. Need to ask my friends.

Suganya: The palm sugar you got could have been obtained from coconut palm or date palm. I have seen a few recipes in some books. There could be recipes in the south east asian blogs too. will share them with you soon.

Maheswari: Nungu is very much different from panam pazham. Some of my friends from Tamil Nadu have promised to send some pictures. Will share them with you [content for one more post. eh?]

Delphine: Thankyou very much. I am very sorry for your loss. I have visited your late husband’s blog once in a while. He was a great man. He would be remembered by a lot of people because of all his good deeds as a police officer.

sra: Thankyou! I am not that keen to visit my home town, as things are not the same. More keen to visit TN (a home away from home). Thanks a lot for your kind words sra.

Hello Mathy, a very nice write-up. Very touching, though you have not been overtly sentimental. I wish you get to go back to your home town one day and more, if that’s what your heart desires.
